This may actually be some realistic thinking about the problem. Certainly there needs to be due process. But there needs to be deeper thinking about why very large numbers of people think they can abandon any responsible role in society and become a burden and a danger to everyone else. The ones who refuse to change probably belong in camps where they have to work for each meal, day by day.
I disagree - i think this is effectively making it a crime to be too poor. The homeless are only a burden to others if we have a welfare state, and the criminal homeless are only a danger to others if the police are not enforcing misdemeanors, both of which California has going for them
